Re: postgresql 9.3 -> 9.4

Next time reading pacman -Syu output before hitting Y would be even
nicer. ;-)

You know what, sometimes their is just so much on the screen to catch
all the messages for things like this.  I was hit with the same
problem and had a server down for almost a day.  This should have
been posted on the home page with a warning and a link to the Wiki or
instructions on how to perform upgrade.

I think there should have been a post-install message — something that
catches the eye as opposed to a simple version increment. However, an
announcement on the homepage for a completely routine version change,
that has happened regularly in the past, is overkill.

Well, version changes that require a non-trivial manual intervention are certainly not "routine". There have been many bugfix version updates of PostgreSQL that required no action at all. Those would definitely qualify as "routine". PostgreSQL minor version changes, on the other hand, may be tricky (often requiring a dump and restore) and should be, IMHO, always loudly announced.

Cheers,
Andrej
